Don, that's a lot of cutting, I really like the painted ornaments. And the crosses are very nice looking, I just don't know if I would want to cut that many. Len

Ike, it's good that you're looking after your health, fine dust can be a killer. Len

Rob, both pieces look great, I agree with the wine one, it can make a lot of things seem to be improved. Len

Keith, it's a gorgeous cutting, I'm sure your daughter will be impressed with it. Len

Dave, a couple a more masterpieces, both pieces are outstanding work. Len

Jim, this is a gorgeous piece, the cutting and the frame both are amazing. Len

No Scott, it doesn't make sense, I don't think you understand what Jim is looking for. He is looking for what's similar to a Woodanimal puzzle, he wants to be able to read the words when he's looking at the puzzle. Len

Bob, if your only realistic choice is between the Dewalt 788 and the Delta 60-694, then I would suggest that you buy the Dewalt 788. Both saws are very similar in the way that they are built and operate, but, the Delta saw is inferior to the Dewalt saw. It is built using cheaper parts, and there's a couple of other things that are different about the saws, I just don't recall what they were. I did a very intense bit of research on these two saws, because it was when I needed a new saw. The Delta was a new saw at the time, and all of the information I found on the net about them reported that they were cheaper made. The reason for making the Delta cheaper than the Dewalt, was to be able to offer a saw at a cheaper price. They were meant to be a mid range priced saws, that the manufacturer hoped would sell in place of the other after market saws. This was reports from reputable people and magazines, there was a fair amount of info out there at that time. That's why I looked into these two saws, I thought that I might buy the new Delta. But after reading everything I could find on the two saws, I decided to buy an EX21. The Dewalt would have been my second choice, but, the tilting head on the EX is what won me over. Len P.S. I don't know where you got the numbers from, but, there is no 150% difference in price between the two saws. If I were to use the prices you quoted on the two saws, then there's only a 44% difference in price between the two. Which is what it should be, as they are cheaper made saws.

Nicely done Jerry, do you have a market for these? Len

Nicely done Pete, both pieces look great. Did you try using the lighter colored bird in the darker colored cage, and the darker colored bird in the lighter cage? I'm just wondering what the contrast in colors would make? Len

Tom, I think I know what you're attempting here, and I think it will be gorgeous. Now that I've done all that thinking, I hope that you don't let me down. I'm waiting to see this masterpiece, no pressure though. Len

Frank, that's a pretty good collection, are you in the habit of saving junk? Just kidding Frank, I think that most of us are guilty of doing this. I know I used to, but it got to be just to much junk hanging around, so I quit. Nowadays, I throw things out, I learned my lesson. It takes to long to pick through the junk pile, to find that little usable piece. I realized that it took to long to find what I needed, and that it was a lot quicker to use new stock. The only wood I save now, has to be a certain size or it goes into the trash. Len

Dave, could you get away with using ribbon? Years ago, that's all we ever used on our tole painting plaques. It did a perfect job, and you could get contrasting colors, to compliment your work. Len

Pete, it's a gorgeous box, you did a fantastic job on that ribbon. Len

Jim, they look great, maybe other car owners will get you to make them some for other car brands. Len

Nicely done Dave, all three pieces look great. Len

Nicely done Kris, the man in black is always a good pattern subject. Len

Helmut, it's truly a masterpiece, I love it. It's a cute village scene, and the color really adds to it. Len

Nicely done Keith. Len

Love it! Len

Nice looking rings Jerry, especially, the two tone one. Do you have a market for these, or, are you just making them for fun? Len

Alex, this is a nice looking cutting, and the rest of your work looks nice also. I checked out your site, you have some very interesting patterns for sale. Len

Nicely done Pete. Len

Alex, that is a very impressive clock, you did an exceptional job. Len

Dan, that sure is a beautiful little tree, you must have been exchanging ornaments for years. Thanks for sharing your exchange tree with us, it is beautiful. Len
